AB Socio-demographic and bibliometric techniques were used to
   investigate factors which are associated with the visibility of
   Mexican educational researchers accredited as national
   researchers by the National Researchers System (SNI). The SNI
   CD-Rom was used to analyse their socio-demographic data. We
   also searched major educational databases: British Education
   Index, Canadian Education Index, ERIC, Arts & Humanities Search
   and Social SCISearch in order to determine researchers'
   performance in terms of their visibility. The results showed
   not only the researchers' impact, but also the areas of
   educational research carried out in Mexico. Socio-demographic
   characteristics were identified.
